I really hope we don't see Yuffie in this contest.

Bested by Z1mzum in the Guru contest... for now.

I doubt Lulu. Despite it not being fair, I have a feelign she's sub-kefka level while Rikku would take him out easily enough. Peach is prolly right in between Rikku and Chunners, though if I'm wrong on that then Chun-Li takes the 8th place over Peach.

You have to snub a lot of characters before you get to an Elite Eight with Tron Bonne.

That wasn't the point smartaleck :P

I would have to side with Ganondorf for this one. In fact, if the chance presents itself, I would seriously consider Ganondorf > Snake as my upset special.
Janus5000 | Posted 8/2/2006 10:53:52 PM | message detail
Yuna, Rikku, Yuffie, and Chun-Li sound about right. Peach or Lulu making it wouldn't surprise me either.

Depending on how the bracket was setup:
Yuffie, Yuna, Rikku, Chun-Li

Yeap, agree with Who Cares? entirely.

Z1mZum whooped me so bad in the Guru Contest that the next Lopen wannabe is gonna feel it.

Now that I think of it, Ada might be a pretty interesting character in terms of strength ranges.

I think it's a given that Yuffie will be in, given how many FFVII fans there are here... I don't doubt that quite a few female nomination lists look like:

Tifa
Aeris
Yuffie.

I would take Peach over Chun-Li without doubt. I think Peach will do fairly well, she just usually has Mario, Bowser, Luigi, and Yoshi to contend with for nominations...

Heh, I think you'd regret it. Not only is he simply not strong enough (and I could just kinda stop right here, really), but he's one of those characters who wouldn't really have an advantage over Snake in the sprite round.

Well I'm confident in Ganondorf > Bowser, yes, but this might be stretching a bit too far, even for ZeldaFAQs.

Personally I see Chunners as Peach's ceiling since I don't think she could take out Yuna or Rikku. Chun-Li/Peach would be a damned good 2nd or 3rd round match imo.

Peach will be trash fodder. How many Peach fans do you see out there? I mean really? Sure, you've got ~*ST*~ boy over here, but life's experience suggests to me that the people as a whole are pretty apathetic towards Peach. And that extremely dated Super Mario Brothers poll supports me, too. What does she do, really? At least Zelda has Shiek to pull from.

Basically, you put her against any opponent that is well known enough to triple a 404 error, and she'll collapse, that's what I'm thinking. I'm not even sure she'll be in the top half.

I shall enjoy watching her die

I'd take Peach over Chun Li with EASE. Master Hand comes to mind here.

Why does one of the weakest characters ever come to mind here?

Seriously, I'm expecting very little out of Peach. I don't think she'll even be stronger than Wario.

And Bowser would double Peach easily even before SFF.

I seriously don't think Peach is stronger than Wario (*especially* now that the guy is slated for SSBB, which was Peach's advantage over him), but I don't think Wario is quite as pathetic now as he used to be. I mean, yeah, Shadow would still blow his ass out, but he'd make it a bit more respectable than that.

To be fair, adjusting Wario with Shadow 2k4 makes him pretty damn pathetic, though...

I'd take Chun-Li over Peach, though I don't think Peach would disappoint at all. People just don't care for Peach, and I definitely can't see her escaping the doubling from Bowser without SFF.

Zelda broke 45% against Snake. Are you telling me that's all Sheik, or is Zelda that much more important to her games than Peach is to Super Mario? Peach is playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee, a game that has NEVER given us reason to doubt its strength.

Even if Peach WAS fodder in SSBM, I can't see how you can justify taking Chun-Li over Peach, considering just how much more popular the Mario series is compared to Street Fighter. I don't buy Peach being complete fodder, I could see her beating Wario or at least being close.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Peach wouldn't do that well. I made a mock bracket the other day and had a match between Peach and Ramza. I felt Ramza would win that one.

Wario's a male and has a personality of his own that appeals to a few people, which is more than Peach can claim.

"I'm insane for taking Jill over Yuffie?"

Yes. You saw Jill's last performance, right? She lost to Ryu Hayabusa while Yuffie, Peach, and Chun-li should all be able to beat him.

"How many Peach fans do you see out there?"

How many Ganon fans do you see out there?

'I don't think she'll even be stronger than Wario."

I think you are wrong, and that you will lose multiple points for it. I think she nearly takes "hey, I got overrated thanks to Shadow!" Wario, the real Wario would crumble in her face.

Peach has SSMB and a recent DS game that she stars in. I think having her own DS game is a fairly good thing to pull from.

And as for Wario, I'd certainly expect him to be quite a bit stronger now too. Aside from the general Nintendo boost, he's had three Wario Ware games since his last contest appearance. ;>_>

Peach is playable in SSBM, which is a lot more than anything Wario can claim. No, I'm not even saying I'd take her in this match, but after seeing what Smash Bros. did in this contest, Melee will be a huge factor for me when deciding some of the next Character Battle matches.
